...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.President Trump on Monday will request a 6 percent cut to non-defense spending as part of his $4.8 trillion budget proposal for 2021, breaking from a bipartisan spending agreement inked in August.
The request includes $740.5 billion in defense spending, but just $590 billion for domestic spending, which includes everything from health and education to transportation and foreign policy.
The proposal has already riled Democrats, who along with Republicans and the White House had agreed to overall spending figures for both 2020 and 2021 in a deal last Summer.
"Just six short months ago, the President signed a bipartisan two-year budget deal into law but now, the President is apparently going back on his word," House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) said.
"Instead, he is proposing deep cuts to critical programs that help American families and protect our economic and national security," he added.
